AFL star Josh Daicos and his new fiancée Annalise Dalins are leading preparations for the 2024 Brownlow Medal in Melbourne on Monday night.
The happy couple got engaged just over a week ago when the soccer star, 25, proposed to the model, 23, while they were on vacation in Santorini, Greece.
The former Miss Universe Australia finalist looked completely flushed as she dove straight into red carpet preparations at Crown Melbourne.
The blonde beauty met up with her stylist Paul Versace, dress designer Sam Oglialoro, hairstylist Joey Scandizzo and makeup artist Chantelle Baker.
PR expert Roxy Jacenko shared a video on Instagram of Annalise getting her makeup done while promoting one of her latest phone accessories.
In photos shared with The advertiserAnnalise illuminated her figure in a sparkling emerald dress that hugged her figure and was visible over one shoulder.
Opting for a very natural makeup look, the model tamed her platinum locks into a sleek wavy bob.
Annalise told the publication that Josh’s football team was eager to share in the celebrations following the happy news of his engagement.

“We hope we have a lot to celebrate, we will cheer him on and it’s nice that we can all go together, especially after everything that happened to us in Europe,” he said.
“I feel refreshed and ready to get back to it. What a week to start!”
Meanwhile, her boyfriend Josh was more interested in flaunting his hotel room, as he and Annalise stayed in the luxurious Tower Suite, which can cost up to $1,870 per night.
His room featured a huge living room and a formal dining room with panoramic views of the city.
On Sunday, the former Miss Universe Australia finalist shined on Instagram as she dove straight into Brownlow preparations at Crown Melbourne.
The high-priced package includes access to the hotel’s exclusive Crystal Club lounge, as well as breakfast, afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks and canapés.
Josh captioned the image with ‘#gifted’ and then uploaded some snaps from the luxurious Le Martini bar at Crown Melbourne as he went to grab a drink for himself and his love.
Josh and Annalise aren’t the only newly engaged couple who will be basking in the glow of young love at the Brownlow Medal.

It promises to be one of the most exciting Brownlow Medal tallies ever this year, with a host of big names in contention and one superstar the AFL is desperately hoping doesn’t get the most votes.
Sydney Swans superstar Isaac Heeney was the overall leader at the halfway point of the AFL season and continued his fine run of form into the grand final decider.
He will be one of the key players in Saturday’s championship decider against Brisbane but is ineligible for the Brownlow because he was suspended for a week after Round 17 for a striking offence.
That leaves Carlton superstar Patrick Cripps as the new favourite, but he faces strong competition from Collingwood’s Nick Daicos and last year’s winner Lachie Neale of the Brisbane Lions.
The vote is likely to be so close that the league could see a joint winner for the first time since 2003, when Adelaide’s Mark Ricciuto, Collingwood’s Nathan Buckley and Sydney’s Adam Goodes had their three-way tie.
